Once your offer is accepted on a new home, it takes a whole team of professionals working together to consummate the sale. Your team typically includes your realtor, lender, and home inspector, and might also include contractors if the property requires renovations before it’s move-in ready. An important part of this team will also include your title company, and our team at First National Title is ready to earn your business!
We operate 26 convenient locations in Arkansas to serve you, and you’ll always be able to work directly with an experienced, customer-focused agent in or near your community from start to finish. Contact us as soon as your home or investment property is under contract, and let us put our experience to work for you!
Before a home or land can be sold, the seller must first demonstrate clear, unencumbered ownership. If sellers have outstanding debts, their creditors may place liens against the property title until those debts are settled. There could also be title defects due to clerical errors resulting from misfiled paperwork, and there might even be previously unknown heirs wth a legitimate property claim if a previous property owner died without leaving a will.
The team at First National Title will conduct a title search to make sure the title to the property is unencumbered so that you will be ready to proceed with closing. The First National Title team will also be in constant contact with you, your realtor and your lender to make sure the closing of your property is as smooth and hassle-free as possible. After the closing has been completed and ownership has been transferred, our final step will be to issue you an owner’s title insurance policy from a highly rated insurer. We offer title insurance products through top underwriters, including First American Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company, Commonwealth Land and Title Insurance Company, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, and Old Republic National Title Insurance Company. Your insurance policy will be effective for as long as you own the home, and it is the best way to protect your home or land investment. In the unlikely event of a future title dispute, your policy protects you as you move into your new home!
